{Cora}

Today I am going to talk about every woman's favorite topic...Tampons.

How many of you actually know much about those little cotton things?

Did you know the average woman uses over 10,000 tampons? Did you know that 90% of those tampons contain materials and chemicals that are potentially harmful to women's health?

Did you know the tampon industry is controlled mostly by three massive companies (P&G, Energizer Holdings, and Kimberly Clark). The FDA does not require tampon manufactures to conduct studies or disclose ingredients in their products. Women are putting these things into their bodies... eww.

That is why the founders of Cora (Molly Hayward & Morgen Newman) made it their mission to make healthy, clean, fashionable, fearless, tampons.

Cora partnered with organizations in Indian that support adolescent girls education and produce an innovative, affordable, and biodegradable brand of high quality sanitary pads.The mini factories where these are produced create jobs for women in the community. Did you know: In rural India, 1 in 4 adolescent girls drop out of school after they begin menstruating because of inadequate menstrual protection like sanitary pads. Among girls who are given pads, the dropout rate goes down by 90%. To read more about their cause, follow this link: {Cora:Cause}

One thing I loved about getting this package was noticing all the details that came along with my tampons. The packaging is so cute and stylish. There's no more hiding my tampons in my sleeve or pocket on the way to the bathroom. The packaging and carrying cases make it hard to even notice there are tampons inside.
